PRISONS AND CRIMINALS.

1t is satisfactory to note the increased at
tention paid to our prisons and the treat
ment of the criminal class. New sugges-
lions are constantly made, and the subject
is agitated, in the southern states where the
Infamous lease system is getting to be so
well understood that 1t will have to 60, and
in the north where the model prisons do
not reform and do not check TIE produc-
ton of the criminal class. Col. Wright,
of the bureau Of labor statistics, of Massa-
chusetts, says that prison interests should
be conducted first In the interest Of society
and second In the interest of the criminal.
The most important interest of society Is
In reforming the criminal and reducing the
criminal class, and whatever system of
management and discipline will most tend
to that end must be adopted. A great
question is involved here, one demanding
the best thought and effort Of preachers,
Christian citizens and political economists.
1t is the reduction of the growing criminal
class. To say nothing of humanity, it has
become altogether too expensive and too
dangerous.
The report Of the Sedgwick county grand
jury upon the condition of our county jail
presents the question IS it affects this CON-
munity in serious light, SO serious, indeed
that prompt action is imperatively demand

KANSAS HISTORY

Speaking of the contest in the Wyan-
dotte constitutional convention in regard
to fixing the boundary lines of Kansas the
Garden City Sentinel says: Those who
favored fixing the west boundary of the
new state where it now Is argued the In
convenience of holding state conventions
where 1t would require month for the del
egates from the mountain counties to reach
the eastern settlements, where 1t was as
sumed that the bulk Of population would
always be found Nobody then believed
that even half of the territory In
cluded in the proposed state would ever
be organized into counties. But
time works wonders and only two counties
of ordinary size now remain to be organ
lied and both of these will be organized
before next Christmas. And Colorado: we
are now sending emigrants by thousands to
settle up the treeless plains of Colorado,
having furnished very large part of the
men and money that opened up the noun
tain regions, and built its cities. If Kansas
could today count as her own the men who
built up Denver and Leadville and Pueblo,
as well as those who have built Kansas
City into a great metropolis on our eastern
border, she would number two mil
lions of people at least. We never did
have Kansas City, though We ought to
have had it, and in fact the seven counties
of Northwest Missouri, included in what
is called 1.-The Platte purchase, were once
a part of our territory, though cut off from
1t before Kansas was organized by the
greed of the slave holders to extend their
pet institution. The city of St. Joseph is
part of that country which should have
been ours. But then we have enough, and
we are going to show the world how a
great state can be built up out of unprom-
Using material.

A MISNOMER.

The Chicago Tribune speaks some very
pointed truths of the New York socialists
who recently formed themselves into new
political party under the name OF the Pro-
gressive labor party. The name of these
fellows says the Tribune. will deceive no
one. Labor, progressive or otherwise, cuts
no figure in their doctrine. If they had
christened themselves "drones," elders, :"
rum suckers, and for progressive labor
party had said labor lodging party or crab
fashion progress party, they would have
described themselves exactly. At meet
ing of these able bodied loafers the other
day the chairman stated that he wanted the
speakers to get to the farmers, because
they could catch many Of their votes!
1t may be, however, that they will find
the American farmers different class from
the alien, pauper, ragtag and bobtail that
makes up the Reds following. and that
when they seriously propose to them they
shall give up their farms, implements and
products-dump them into one common
pool for the benefit of socalled state
sacri fce their ambition, independence and
individuality, become state paupers, and
subsist on pauper fare dolled out to them
when they come to make such demands as
these upon the intelligence Of American
farmers, they may meet with reception
somewhat warmer than they anticipated

Topeka Is wroth that she Il placed third
I'm the list of Kansas cities and declares
that her population Is 39,868, or 5000
more than Wichita. Our impression is,
however, that Wichita can easily prove her
title to first place.-Kansas City Times.
Oh, yes, the wrothiness is all right and
SO are the figures. But there are other
facts and figures besides those of popula-
ton which Topeka must get round before
she denies Wichita's ascendency. We al
lude to the relative business of the two
cities and to the taxable valuation returned.
The state board of equalization cut WITCH
tia down something like three million dol
lars, and yet We lead Topeka and every
other city In the state by millions Of prop
erty. The Times impression as to Wich-
itas ability is all right. Topeka is the cap
ital and political center of the state, Wich-
tia the metropolis and commercial center
is now, has been for some time and will be

TIE dispatches from Mexico give the
particulars of bloody duel that took place
near the city Monday between General
Rocha and Antonce Gsyon of the war de
psrtmen, In which Gsyon received bullet
Ia his breast from Rocha's pistol The
trouble grew out of quarrel over the
MAMMALIAN escapade Of 1865. We are
gratifed to know that resort TO such bar
barrie methods Of healing wounded honor
no longer has place In this country In the
code for adjusting personal grievances.
The country passed through that experience
and is now happily beyond 1t and above it.
The modifying influence Of christianity and
enlightenment accomplished the transition
for us as 1t will for the Mexican, the
French, the Spaniard, ct al, when 1t shall
hAve like opportunity to exert itself as 1t

There Is but one native born American
among the seven anarchists condemned to
death at Chicago His name Is Albert R.
Parsons and he is native Of Texas. He
Is brother of General Parsons, who COM
manded..a brigade In the Confederate army.
Parsons was enrolling clerk of the Twelfth
Texas legislature. General Parsons was
then Texas state Senator. Afterwards
General Parsons moved to New YorA and
Albert settled In Chicago. If A. r. Par
sons had remained in Texas he might have
landed in the penitentiary instead Of on
the gallows. As 1t Is, the labor and money
expended in changing him will be well

No ticket ever nominated In Sedgwick
county has proved SO popular as that nom
insted and presented to the people by the
Republican county convention. There has
been heard not one single protestation or
adverse criticism of single nominee. The
icket In one sense Is entirely new, yet, IL
another, old: new In that it Is composed of
men who have not been Office seekers and
Office holders, but old In that the individ-
usl nominees for the most part have long
been residents of the county and ever iden-
ufed with the Republican party. Another
feature which has added strength to the
ticket as whole and saved 1t
from all faultfnding, is the
fact of the competency and recognized
fitness of each nominee to fill the Office for
which he was chosen. The entire county
might be hunted over and more capable
men could not be found, more trustworthy
men, nor men who to a greater degree
could command the confidence of the en-
tire people-all honest, all tried and all
fully equipped by experience and educa-
Hen to fill the respective positions most
acceptably to the people. Even the local
politicians who had arranged, worked for
and hoped for the success of some favorite,
acknowledged before the convention had
fairly adjourned that such ticket would
be almost impossible to improve upon,
from Judge to coroner. The convention
Itself, though divided In sentiment touch
ing minor policies and principles, were
unanimous as to the superior excellence of
the ticket chosen and of Its sure success
before the people.
AS the EAGLE declared the next morning
after the convention, "the ticket Is a most
satisfactory one, an exceptionally strong
one, and the one which we believe the
Republicans of the county would have
chosen. maybe, without an exception, from
The list of candidates Offering"
bolstering; ticket which will call for no
explanation; Q ticket made up of men for
whom no apologies will be found neces-
sary: and, 1t is not little gratifying that
word comes from every quarter of the
country that 1t is ticket which will COM
mand the hearty and enthusiastic support
OF the Republican party unitedly and
sohdly.

A new railroad bridge spans the Missouri
river at Randolph point Kansas City has
peculiar right TO be interested In river
bridges. 1t was the building of railroad
bridge over the river at this point, instead
of at Leavenworth, which first gave the
city Its start forward. Kansas City well
comes all needed new bridges, but it will
never forget to praise the bridge that car
he'd 1t safely over. Star.
A very pretty sentiment, and one that
sAould inspire Kansas City when she
thinks and speaks Of the state whose name
she bears, but she don't. more's the pity
for her. The unkind, not to say wentonly
cruel. filings often made by the offspring Of
Kansas over the river often brings to re-
nembrance the Shakesperarian axiom Of
How sharper than se-psnts tooth it is
10 have thankless child,
Even II Ii Is away from home.
